Principals Message
Happy Friday Panther Families! We have had another great week here in the middle school.
Beginning on Monday September 23, 2024, Susan Renee will be our Special Education Academic Plus and Math teacher. This change will cause some changes in some students' schedules, but it allows us to service all students in the best way possible. If you have questions please feel free to contact the office at (269) 623-1541 or email me at bobby.tillman@dkschools.org.
We are getting closer to our DK Homecoming festivities. This year our middle school students will be participating in the DK PIE 2024 Walk-A-Thon. Our DK PIE group is looking for some assistance in designing a Walk-A-Thon t-shirt for middle school students. Students are invited to submit a picture they have drawn to be put on the shirt. Directions are available in the middle school office and all entries are due in the middle school office by the end of the day on Thursday September 26, 2024.
As we are settling into the school year, the weather will begin to change and inevitably students will begin to get sick and have to miss school. Please make sure you are calling our attendance line at (269) 623-1540 and leave a message about why your child will not be at school. For absences to be excused, we will need documentation from a doctor, dentist, or other appointments to change the absence to excused. If you have further attendance questions, please feel free to contact our office at (269) 623-1541.
As always I would like to thank our students, staff, parents, and community for all of their hard work this week. We have had a great start to the year and I truly appreciate everyone who has had a hand in making that happen!
